オープンサイエンスにおける二つの「民主化」

―アクセスとガバナンスの観点から―

抄録

    This paper examines “democratization” in Open Science (OS), distinguishing two dimensions: democratization of access (removing barriers to knowledge) and democratization of governance (participatory decision-making in scientific practice). Current OS policies, such as Plan S, disproportionately emphasize access while neglecting governance. This imbalance risks marginalizing diverse epistemological practices and reinforcing existing power structures. Drawing on Leonelli's “judicious connection” framework, this paper reframes OS as a problem of boundary-work governance. Genuine democratization requires not only expanding access to resources but also democratizing the processes that determine what counts as legitimate science and who participates in these decisions.
